The average earnings for a new worker in Nashville hit $62,200 this year, according to a new analysis.
Stunning stat: That's up 4.7% from last year. But it's a whopping 26% over 2020, per Glassdoor.
How it works: Glassdoor used more than 5 million salary datapoints from users "with 0-4 years of relevant experience in their current job from January 2020 through October 31, 2025," and among metro areas with at least 1,000 salary datapoints per year.
The big picture: "It's difficult to start your career during a soft labor market, but there is a silver lining: Earnings growth is on the rise for workers with 0-4 years of experience, and 2026 will be the first year that these workers' purchasing power exceeds 2020 levels," per Glassdoor's report.
